ASK

Thursday of the First Week of Lent Matthew 7:7-12 In today’s gospel Jesus promises us that if we ask, we will find what we are seeking for and if we knock, the door will be opened for us. My dear friends, we are invited today to believe and have faith because the invisible God will provide what we hope for. Today we ask God for our needs and desires. Friends, keep asking the Lord with sincerity and persistence and do not be discouraged even if the answer is delayed. He who is afraid of asking is depriving himself of a great blessing. The gospel present to us three ways of prayer. First approach of praying is by ASKING. Meaning, we need tonopen our mouth. Say what you need. Prayer is an act of humility and humble people ask for help. If we dont ask we dont get. Friends, ask what you need and be prepared to get it. Second action we need to do is by SEEKING. Turn on your eyes. It means after we bring out our concerns through our mind and mouth this time we should use our eyes and feet to find what we ask for. Folks, God is gracious for He provides everything we need, just keep your eyes open. Beautiful things comes to those who seek. But you know what, seeking is not enough. Do something else! And the final ways of praying is by KNOCKING. Activate your hands. Friends, once we find what we are seeking for be ready to experience the limitless blessings of God. Don’t stop on the level of asking. Find ways to achieve your success. Friends, Ask-Seek-Knock! Blessings Fr. Jhack
